PoeticPassions

  1. African Dream

    Moments lost in dreaming
    Like love in slumber

    What is meant to be
    And what is
    Diverge paths,
    Wreathing sharp images
    Of desire.

    Fiery exchanges never
    To be consummated
    Though a rising fire
    Governs wild and unquenched

    And here we are
    Again;
    Each other's poetry
    Like two grains of sand
    Upon the same shore.

  2. old and new...

    An older poem:

    I lost you that day
    On the shores of eternity.
    You were engulfed by the sea;
    Taken as its prisoner

    I trembled as I looked on
    Across the crescent of the moon

    Your wrath towards the
    World which outcast you
    Grows in angry pangs,
    Like a child's kick in the womb.
    Yet, you have not yet
    Given birth to your
    Importunate sorrow.
    I pray you do not
    Carry the infant of
    Your grief into this world,
    And pierce my already ...

  4. Love's Lament



    Quixotic dreams we dream
    Weaving webs of love and sadness
    Adrift in unimagined fields of fervor

    Resistance is futile,
    Though real;
    Real like the love which
    sails the seas unrequited and wasted.

    The age of lyricism
    Abates and dissolves
    Into unspoken words;
    Unadorned with poetic pasts,
    corroded with impure verse,
    swollen with weighted time.

    Time is but a measure
